Connecting the monitor, keyboard, and mouse
This topic describes how to make the connections between the system and the following peripheral devices:
!
Monitor
!
Keyboard and mouse
Connecting the monitor
A monitor is available for purchase for use with the Message Networking system or the customer can supply a
monitor. Most standard monitors will work with the Message Networking system.
Two cables connect the monitor to the system:
!
Video cable connector: The video cable connector has a video input connector at one end. The other end
of the cable is permanently attached to the monitor.
!
Power cable: The power cable for the monitor connects to an AC outlet on the UPS.
To connect the monitor cables:
1. Plug the video cable connector from the monitor directly into the video connector located on the back of
the chassis. See
S3210R and S3210 back views
and
S3400-H back views
if you need to locate the video
connection on the back of the servers.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews on the video cable connector with your fingers or with a small flat blade
screwdriver.
3. Plug the female end of the power cable into the monitor.
4. Plug the male end of the power cable into an AC outlet on the UPS.
Connecting the keyboard and mouse
Connect the PS/2 cables for the mouse and keyboard to their corresponding connectors on the back of the
server. The mouse connector is color-coded green, and the keyboard connector is color-coded purple.
If the customer chooses, the customer can provide a standard PS2 mouse and plug the mouse cable into the
mouse receptacle.
